Real Madrid has extended the contract of Daniel Yáñez, a young talent, until June 2029. The 18-year-old winger is seen as a promising prospect and has already made a mark in his early career. He is the 2nd youngest player to play for Real Madrid this century.
WHAT HAPPENED?
Daniel Yáñez, who recently turned 18, has signed a contract extension with Real Madrid for four more years. This shows the club’s confidence in the young player, who made history as the second youngest to debut for Los Blancos in this century, at just 17 years and 254 days old. His first-team debut happened in a 3-0 La Liga win against Girona in December 2024. Since then, Yáñez has become part of the Real’s U19 team, where he has 24 appearances and five goals this season.
A PROMISING TALENT
Daniel Yáñez is known for his versatility in attack, playing various forward positions but preferably as a right winger. He developed his skills at the Real Madrid academy, where he joined at age 12. This season has been a breakthrough year for him, showing his creativity, goal-scoring ability, and potential to be a key player for the club. Real Madrid ranks second in La Liga, four points behind Barcelona after 31 matches, and Yáñez’s performances may add depth to their squad as the match calendar becomes more and more competitive and teams need more depth to their squads.
WHAT’S NEXT?
With his contract secure, Yáñez can now focus entirely on developing his game and helping Los Blancos’ U19 team for the rest of the season. The team has important matches ahead, including a La Liga match against Athletic Bilbao this weekend and the first leg of their Champions League semifinal next week. For Yáñez, these are excellent chances to gain experience and earn a solid place in the team. Real Madrid’s commitment to Yáñez shows their dedication to building a future with homegrown talents.
